❤ Blending Deck-Building and Tight Tactical Combat

Players build a deck of over 200 cards representing martial arts moves, from basic punches and kicks to advanced techniques like throws, counter-attacks, and area-of-effect attacks. Each turn, players must carefully manage their hand, balancing momentum, positioning, and card effects to outmaneuver and defeat opponents.

❤ Engaging and Satisfying Combat

The combat is consistently praised as highly engaging and satisfying. Enemies have predictable attack patterns that players must learn to avoid or exploit, with varied enemy types - from biker gang members to heavily-armored mafia bosses - forcing players to constantly adapt their strategies. Nailing the timing and positioning of a flashy combo move, like a Suplex or Spartan Kick, elicits a tangible sense of triumph.

❤ Rewarding Deck-Building

Building an effective deck is crucial to success. After each combat, players choose a new card to add, allowing them to gradually customize and hone their playstyle. Removing weaker cards while prioritizing key synergies and defensive options is essential. The game's roguelike structure means each run presents new deck-building challenges.

❤ Tactical Positioning

Players must also masterfully navigate the cramped, confined spaces where combat takes place, using the environment to their advantage. Stunning enemies against walls or knocking them off ledges requires precise positioning and anticipation of enemy movements. Correctly managing the character's placement and movement is just as vital as the cards in their hand.

❤ Cinematic Presentation

Complementing the tactical gameplay is a cinematic presentation that immerses players in the role of a secret agent taking down criminal organizations. Smooth, impactful combat animations, satisfying sound effects, and a driving soundtrack heighten the sense of stylish, high-stakes action.
